| Description of the problem | Takata recall, i have a 2011 mb that i have received a recall on for replacement. This was received in february 2019, and here it is sept 19 and nothing has been done. I depend on this car daily for business and driving usage, but recently read where a person was hurt from this issue. I have clients, family, and friends who ride in this vehicle. I have no replacement nor time frame of repair. My complaint is that my vehicle has been sidelined for repair and it should be replaced by mb or takata. I am screwed and no one cares! I have recall paperwork from mb. The car is unsellable, untradeable and undriveable due to safety. What am i supposed to do? This is unconscionable and mb should replace my vehicle at sticker price! |
